Bobby Kotick: Sony “Trying to Sabotage” Microsoft-Activision Deal

You guys really need to take a second to actually look at what Activision gets from Playstation. Keep in mind this is for all Activision games, not just COD, all Activision games

The totals for 2021’s revenues from customers, for example, were as follows:

Apple – $1.496 bn
Google – $1.496 bn
Sony – $1.320 bn
Microsoft – <$880 m
Total – $5,192 from top customers (does not include Nintendo, or retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, etc)

A bit of math reveals how much Sony kept. While it’s likely Sony gives Activision-Blizzard a negotiated cut of revenues, let’s just say that Sony applies the standard 70-30 split, with Sony keeping 30% of revenues.

Activision received $1.320 billion from Sony in 2021. That means the actual value was about $1.885 billion.

Even if you wish to lie to yourself, Activision revealed they made $500M on mtx on COD and that is across all platforms. You can add all the sales, mtx and DLC all you want, but if Sony’s cut is less than $600M, GOWR is bringing in more for Sony and I get some people don’t want to hear that.
